Who is Anitta?
Anitta is the Brazilian artist who carried funk carioca out of Rio de Janeiro's bailes and onto global pop radio. She emerged from the Rio funk and pop circuit in the early 2010s, and "Show das Poderosas" turned her into a household name in Brazil almost overnight. What followed was a decade of deliberate genre-crossing: reggaeton with J Balvin on "Downtown", the baile-funk-rooted "Vai Malandra" filmed in the Vidigal favela, and "Envolver", whose choreography made her the first solo Brazilian act to top Spotify's global daily chart. She records in Portuguese, Spanish and English, often in the same project, and her catalogue moves between funk, pop, reggaeton and dance without abandoning the tamborzão pulse underneath. For international listeners she is usually the entry point to Brazilian funk: her singles are the ones that appear on global playlists, and her collaborations put funk rhythms next to artists from Miami, Medellín and Lagos. Inside Brazil she remains a funk artist first, still recording with carioca producers and MCs. Her Spotify profile is the most-followed of any artist in this directory, and it is the best place to hear how funk sounds when it is built for stadiums as well as for the baile.
